Language Arts

Students in sixth grade focus on active engagement with text. They are required to analyze, identify, define, explain, integrate, evaluate, compare, contrast, and cite supportive evidence—developing and building upon those skills that were required in fifth grade. Deeper analysis of literature and informational text continues to be the focus of sixth-grade instruction, although reading fluently and accurately remains a Standards-based goal for all students. Students’ understanding of the precise meaning of words, English instruction is critical language conventions, structural features of informational text and materials, and to developing fundamental elements of literature all support greater comprehension of what they read, students’ literacy and see, and hear.
